Back-to-school season means new schedules, new stress, and sometimes new pain. For many teens and young adults, that discomfort in the back of the jaw is wisdom teeth making their move. 🦷

Wisdom teeth typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. When there isn't enough room, they can become impacted, leading to pain, swelling, and infection that disrupts everything from sleep to focus.

Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out, but understanding what's happening in your mouth is the first step.

Why remove all 4 wisdom teeth? Beside helping financially, your discomfort and inconvenience will essentially be the same whether you have one or four extractions. Do you really want to go through that process multiple times? For most patients, the answer is no.
